The rule says nothing about the initial point of contact:Initial point if contact appears to be shoulder to numbers.
Again, what are DB supposed to do when they're coming up to make a stop?

"No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. "

Its bang bang, but that helmet directly hits the defenders helmet. If he's leading with the shoulder, it was by a fraction. He definitely needs to get his head down if he wants to avoid that penalty.Initial point if contact appears to be shoulder to numbers.

No argument there. The refs still have to enforce it while it exists. They did it correctly there.Yep still a terrible rule
Oh, agreed. I'm still not sure how safeties should be coached in this rule.No argument there. The refs still have to enforce it while it exists. They did it correctly there.
Absolutely but a bad rule. But the officials hands are tiedNo argument there. The refs still have to enforce it while it exists. They did it correctly there.
Truth, but if a game goes into the 4th quarter being tied 3 -3 the offenses don't get the same criticism.Oklahoma should probably drop in the standings based on this trash

Go back in the thread to the night of the Michigan/Michigan State game.Truth, but if a game goes into the 4th quarter being tied 3 -3 the offenses don't get the same criticism.
I think that was his intent but moving at those speeds with a player who is falling is easier said than done.Hit the body, not the head and neck area.
That's why I don't think the player should be ejected for it. It should be penalized, but I think the ejection should be for obvious intent. I don't think intent was obvious there.I think that was his intent but moving at those speeds with a player who is falling is easier said than done.
What hurt Oklahoma most today was Ohio State getting thumped by Iowa. Makes their win over Ohio State less impressive. Add Penn State losing to Michigan State and now last weeks Ohio State/Penn State game was simply two overrated teams playing. It's laughable now that at one time this year three Big 10 teams were ranked in the top 6.Oklahoma should probably drop in the standings based on this trash
Any other time just winning would be enough, but today was so ugly.What hurt Oklahoma most today was Ohio State getting thumped by Iowa. Makes their win over Ohio State less impressive.

turns out we get this channelIf you can't watch horrible football in the snow then what are you even doing?they're going to need to get a lot more snow than that to get me to watch that game.
Did you see Andy Dalton throw the ball away on 4th down last week?Congrats to va tech for possibly the worst 4thdown play ever.
2004 GT at Georgia. Reggie Ball down 6 with under 2 minutes to play threw the ball out of bounds on 4th down.Did you see Andy Dalton throw the ball away on 4th down last week?

Yeah, but with Ball he might have been trying to hit someone between the hashes.2004 GT at Georgia. Reggie Ball down 6 with under 2 minutes to play threw the ball out of bounds on 4th down.
You could post that every week.Gamecocks ... poor play calling killed way too many offensive drives.
Can someone help me out? Does Clemson stay #4 when they lost to Syracuse who today lost to a really bad FSU?What hurt Oklahoma most today was Ohio State getting thumped by Iowa.

They look at who you beat more than who you lost to. I can see OU jumping them with a win over a good opponent today, but Clemson beat an ok team as well.Can someone help me out? Does Clemson stay #4 when they lost to Syracuse who today lost to a really bad FSU?
What a joke. The Big Ten is the best conference in college football. If they were named the SEC they’d have 3 teams in the top 4 instead not one team in the top 5. What a slap in the face.
Lol. Uhhh what 3 teams exactly.
You really are the worst poster on this board.
The Little Ten with Wisconsin and the Pretenders?![]()
Two of these three teams lost today, Beano.
Skies have cleared, apparently.I was promised the Khalil Tate show. Is there a weather delay?
2015 against Michigan State, Chris Laviano of Rutgers spiked the ball on 4th down to give the ball over and clinch a 7 pt loss.2004 GT at Georgia. Reggie Ball down 6 with under 2 minutes to play threw the ball out of bounds on 4th down.
I'm not going to write Wisconsin off yet, if they get through the B1G undefeated, they'll have earned the respect.Can we just spare everyone the CTE and have Bama and Georgia play and call the rest of the season off yet?
